Fineqia increases availability of Cardano ETN by listing on the German Stock Exchange
Fineqia has recently announced that its Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield (YADA) Exchange Traded Note (ETN) is now cross-listed on the German Stock Exchange. This move underscores Fineqia’s focus on providing institutional-grade investment opportunities within the realm of blockchain-based Decentralized Finance (DeFi). Through its European subsidiary, Fineqia issues crypto asset-backed ETNs like the Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN (YADA).
Notably, Fineqia’s UK unit specializes in advising on Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs) in Europe, with a particular emphasis on the Digital Asset Blockchain Infrastructure (DABI). Fineqia strategically invests in ventures that tokenize Real-World Assets (RWAs), decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi, and blockchain protocols.
YADA, initiated by Fineqia’s European subsidiary, Fineqia AG, stands as the world’s first ETN leveraging crypto assets on DeFi protocols to generate returns. By cross-listing YADA on the German Stock Exchange, which serves as a key trading platform for digital asset securities in Europe, Fineqia aims to expand YADA’s reach to a broader European audience. This initiative reflects Fineqia’s commitment to bridging traditional finance with blockchain-based investment opportunities, thereby offering investors regulated access to Cardano’s native token, ADA.
In a related development, data from ETFBook reveals that Digital Asset Exchange Traded Products amassed trading volumes exceeding USD 2.2 billion on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange between March 2024 and February 2025. Notably, the Stuttgart Stock Exchange ranked fifth in Europe for digital asset ETP trading volume during this timeframe, underlining its significance for digital asset market participants.
Fineqia’s efforts to enhance the accessibility of YADA align with broader industry trends highlighting the growing institutional adoption of blockchain-based investment solutions. Stuttgart’s stature as a hub for ETPs from prominent firms like 21Shares, BitWise, CoinShares, VanEck, and WisdomTree further solidifies its position as a crucial marketplace for institutional-grade digital asset investment vehicles. YADA’s recent listing on the Vienna Stock Exchange on 24 January 2025, benchmarked to the FTSE Russell index, signifies Fineqia’s strategic positioning in the evolving digital asset landscape.
Overall, Fineqia’s expansion and cross-listing of the YADA ETN on the German Stock Exchange underscore its proactive approach to facilitating access to crypto-related financial products within a regulated framework. The company’s efforts reflect a broader industry trend toward increased institutional engagement with blockchain-based investment solutions, positioning Fineqia at the forefront of evolving digital asset markets.
